She took pride in helping countless patients with pacemakers and internal defibrilators lead better lives. On September 29, 1998, Cheryl was united in marriage to Daniel Vehrs. Sadly, her husband passed away January 2, 2010. Her hobbies included raising dogs, traveling to vacation destinations with warm sandy beaches, spending time at her cabin or maybe just taking a pontoon ride around the lake. Cheryl often commented on her fond memories of spending time as a child with grandma and grandpa up north at their cabin. She loved socializing with family and friends. She enjoyed listening to some good 60’s music, which often reminded her of times when she felt physically at her best. In these last years, she was creatively inspired by watching HGTV in her spare time. Cheryl was a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield.
